LowBall

J10 in middle position I raise it up (nl game) flop comes 988 guy checks I bet he calls he was a loose passive player(turn comes a 2) he checks I think for a minute wondering what he could have and decided it might be a str8 draw also I decide to check behind and let him bluff on the river if he does, the river comes a blank 3 and he fires out 3/4 at the pot and I thought for a second and couldnt put him on a 9 obviously, and if he did have a 8 or a boat he had played a hand earlier very similar to this where he only be 1/4 of the pot on the river with the stone cold nuts looking for a raise o

Id like to see Tony G play Phill Hellmuth

4/7

I only saw day one and part of day 2 ! where ar ethey?

you annoy me.......

There is one remaining ace in the deck and one remaining 10 so the odds are just as good that he has a 10 as an ace.

if you get two other callers for 1k on the river dont you think maybe one of them might just have an ace???? leaving no aces left in the deck then the guy raises 2k more wtf could he have if he has not got an ace why reraise all in hes not calling anyways if for some strange reason hes on a bluff. If you think your aces are good which there prolly not why not just call and try and get a overcall or two in the way.

If it makes you feel any better, I crushed Railparade the other day on 4 all ins on the 5/10 NL on FT. Took about 6K off him in an hour.Very nice dude hes a pretty solid player though

4.5kish 10-20 shorthanded game just me and Railparade left on FT, I have AA he raises to 60 on the button I make it 200 to go he callsflop j102 two diamonds, I bet 450 he raises all in for another 2k about I think a bit then call he flips over 78 of diamonds for a draw, turn 10 river jack of diamonds OUCH! Biggest pot I have ever won 2.8k

I hate this play, for the following reasons, why check raise on the turn if he is on a draw hes probably going to call the small raise, some players on draws might just push here (some people overplay there draws) then what do you do? If you are pretty sure hes on a draw why not just call? Check raising puts you to a difficult decision on a out of position river where you dont know where he is really at. If you think hes on a draw though why not give him a chance to bluff at it on the river????? he might even throw out a 10-20 dollar bet on the river and if you put him on a draw then you ar

You put yourself in a terrible situation that you never should have got yourself into, You check raised a very marginal amount out of position, you put yourself in a tough spot when you should have just given up on the hand with no pair and no DRAW, You should never make plays like this out of position with no draw or no pair espicially for sucha small amount.You dont have any clue where hes at right, he could have qj, which means your drawing to a ace, or he could have any Ax the X being paired with the board, given he called a raise preflop maybe he has a hand like aj or even ak(not all play

WEll put. Lowball make sure you read this.Ok, yah they fold to a pressure using the key sentence When they make it clear they have nothing. If he has something hes gonna call my whole point is your getting more money in on the turn with this weak raise making him more likely to call with any jack, your best bet is defiantly checking here and hoping he missed his draw, I completely agree that you can make a lot of money off bluffing fish, but thats only because its obvious when they have nothing. You should always check here if you can beat a missed draw, its just a bad bet with this many po

You have to understand your opponents sir, people just dont make laydowns in general at that level, if you have played a lot with this specific player and you know he does then yes you can push on the river. But other than that you played the hand terribly.

You are thinking on a level that doesnt apply to a .10/.25 game if you think like this in terms of making plays on pots it will not work, playing tricky will not work in this type of game, all your doing is commiting more of his money to the pot and making him want to think your bluffing, the more money he has in it the more likely he will call thats all the small check raise on the turn acomplishes.

alright but I was defending you, for such a pointless flame. Maybe I shoulda checked all your other idiotic posts first.

WHAT HE MEANS IS WHY WOULD YOU POST SUCH A BORING ASS HAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO ONE CARES you had the nut no pair of course your checking in a .10/.25 game either he missed his draw or hes gonna call you.

agreed. (but not in such a harsh way)

would you have to have played in the past tournies to play the main event? And shouldnt the main event be for more money such as like maybe 100-500 dollars?

It depends on what level you are playing on, if you are playing on the higher levels being tricky is very key if you just play aces, kings, and queens its not going to work at all on the higher levels it will be very easy to put you on a hand, but at the lower levels you can just play tight and be patient as you will most of the time get payed off by one of the many fishes in the game.

Early in the tournament mike put all his money in with 33 before the flop agaisnt QQ and hit a 3 to stay alive......

I was playing on Full tilt and implied a almost maniac type style and it really was working to my advantage, but then I went over to Doyles room and this didnt work at all because there are so many loose fish over there so I had to change up my style well I play on doyles, anyone else play differently based on the site there at?

That would be retarded to lay down the kings in this spot the guy who raised was steaming so hes not going to give him much respect, so theres way to many hands he would have here that he would move in over the top to protect, espicially with these blinds. He would bassically have to show you the aces for you to lay these down just a tough spot thats all, early in a tournament its a different storey but deep with high blinds your gonna lose all your money unless you get lucky in this spot.

Whoever picks doesnt pick Shana is gay, I'm sorry but I would rather go play in some tournament then hang out with Daniel Negranu, I mean hes a great poker player but that doesnt mean it would be all that fun to just hang out with him lol.................

O hes not normally a fish just played this particular online hand very very fishy I mean I guess anyone would be outplayed by meh though : P

opps forgot to say I guess J4 of diamonds .. lol
